The beginning of a new year is a season for change and fresh starts. Traditionally, it’s also a time to reflect on the past year and commit to resolutions. However, it’s easy to set goals—but much harder to keep them year-round. This can leave us feeling defeated when we fall short of our timelines. Instead of rigid goals, creating intentions and sustainable practices can support healthier growth.
As we look to prioritize health and fitness, local resources make it easier to maintain healthy rhythms year-round. Whatever your intentions, it’s important to celebrate the small wins with community—and encourage yourself to do something just for you. Starting somewhere and starting small are essential. Whether you’re a seasoned fitness pro or just beginning, these studios located in The Woodlands provide powerful tools to challenge you in your fitness journey, and connect you with individuals doing the same!
DexaFit
A fairly new addition to The Woodlands, DexaFit is a modern health assessment studio providing comprehensive health testing to maximize your fitness goals. With three health tests: the DexaFit Body Scan, VO2 Max Test, and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test, the studio provides a comprehensive overview of your current health. Cornell Selig, facility manager and health coach at DexaFit, recommends first-time clients get all three tests, as they “build off of one another,” enhancing your ability to understand your body and how it changes. The results empower you to make better health and fitness choices. Schedule a test at woodlands.dexafit.com.
